Finally, the risk analysis is as it follows:

Healthcare Services Group is a company specialised in housekeeping, laundry, dining and nutrition services mainly in the seniors living and hospital markets. Founded in 1976, its current market capitalisation is US$ 2,769.92 million. Revenues increased an 11% in 2015 compared with 2014, up to US$ 1,436.8 million. Net income jumped a 165.5% in 2015 compared with 2014, up to US$ 89.05 million, as a result of the improvement of the revenues and the control of the costs. The share price doubled in the last five years.

T-Advisor, as wealth management solution for individuals and professionals, has not only tools for own investments, but also proposals to follow or even copy. That’s why our system has its own model portfolios. They are nine: five related to risk profile (from aggressive to very conservative) and five related to countries (Germany, UK, Spain in Europe and Mexico and Nasdaq 100 in the Americas).

How do they work? We select between four and six ETFs for the risk-profiled portfolios and up to ten stocks for the country portfolios. The main point for us is capital preservation. That’s why our results, when they are negative, are better than the markets. To obtain them, we rebalance the portfolios every two months. These rebalances let us improve the results, as we exclude the positions more affected by market negative waves and substitute them for better stocks or ETFs. Diversification is also part of the strategy. We select the securities with the best score and relevant figures to obtain the best results.

These are the results for 2015 for our risk-profiled model portfolios:

However, the only negative result is our Aggressive portfolio and the losses are lower if we compare them with the 1-year-returns of some of the main exchanges: S&P (-4.42%), London (-8.80%), Madrid (-9%), Hong Kong (-17.96%).

How do they work? We select between four and six ETFs for the risk-profiled portfolios and up to ten stocks for the country portfolios. They are not static, but we rebalance them every two months.
